Newb on the scene
Hello all, just got a '15 XLT supercrew with 3.5L EB a couple weeks ago. It was a rental, had 13k miles, doesn't have many interior options, but that twin turbo 3.5L makes up for it, especially in Sport mode. Wow!
Anyway, I'm coming off a 16 year stretch of driving a 98 Taurus SHO, maintaining as much as I could by myself. Well, it was getting tough to do what I needed to do and still be able to drive it to work everyday - I'm not about to resort to paying $300-500 bucks a couple times a year for stuff I can do myself if given the time. So I'm hoping to get some advice on any tips & tricks with the truck, and maybe an early warning on any "issues" that might pop up with the truck (my sho had a cam sprocket defect that I only learned about as a result of being on the v8sho.com e-mail list when I bought the car).
One thing I know I'll be doing is upgrading exterior bulbs to LEDs, getting K&N filter, and I also need to find a good how-to for installing rear-view camera since mine didn't come with it.
Thanks!
